Yeah, thanks for the offer justin, but im in tennessee...

Just a random question.
Would I still receive as much help and support if I had a bonneville ssei? The mechanic and I are talking about a possible trade and payment plan.
Im not getting my hopes up, im just depressed right now. That's a lot of money I don't have

Thanks for the support space. I like the. Gif of the H6. What typically happens (if anyone knows any differant speak up) when the intake manifold gasket leaks, it can cause the car to overheat and throw a rod... I hear it knocking as said before.

Yes, `Dustin, you will still have our support `if you got a VW `Bug or a SkateBoard : ) Yes, overheating can cause major engine problems 4-Sure...It's sad that bad things happen to good people, but that's just life : ( , but we still have to step back & look @ all the positives in life, over the negatives...
You weren't in a accident or laying in the hospital or worse : (

I'm sure you will find a way to overcome this tragic auto event & move on with something better or a improved faster Monte : )
Good Luck 4 Real~>Sure..

Check out the below link on overheating....Peace/Out

======================
First of all, Dustin that sucks man. Please no matter what car you drive, do not leave the forum. You are valuable member. I plan to own a monte again one day, but thats not why I stay. It is the great people on here like you that make me come back.

Space the house does have heat, so I have been warm. Turned it on the first of the month and i scared to see the power bill. My buddy came over and we hung the bathroom door, put the trim up and installed the microwave.

As for a car.......I am leaving any minute now to go buy one I found on craigslist. I am hoping it is a diamond in the very rough. It has a salvaged title do to a previous wreck so I will check to see if the repairs were done correctly. It also has high miles, 240,000. Normally that would scare me away. The owner painted it flat black, so I am curious how bad the paint job would is. Anyway, hope fully I will have pics later but here is one to tied you over.

The car is a 1993 Acura Integra 5 speed. I am paying 500.
